Egypt's Army Tries To Stay Neutral With A "Timid" Speech

Egypt's army just gave a statement. It's not clear what side
they're taking.

An Al-Jazeera analyst put it well: It was a timid speech that
tried to sit on the fence. However, preserving the status quo
constitutes a win for Mubarak.

Paraphrased translation from Al Jazeera:

In the light of the rapid developments where the fate of the
country is being shaped as we closely monitor events and in light
of the delegation of the president to his vice president -- the
council has guaranteed the implementation of the current agenda:

1) The state of emergency will end eventually

2) They are here to protect the will of the people and ensure
free and fair elections

3) The honest men who called for reform will not be persecuted.
We should restore the normal way of life in order to preserve the
property assets and gains of our homeland.

Note they are supporting the transfer of power to Omar Suleiman.
Not likely the crowds will be satisfied.
